Really good way of looking at it Marcus. I throw alot more flat shots with overstable drivers and a drone that fade in hard left as they slow down. For me to get one, I'll have to have the exact length, height, and direction(left/right). For people who throw alot of rocs they only need the height and direction, since their distance can have alot of variance, but slam in anyway since they are running straight in at the bucket. Just an observation. I have been playing for 5 yea…tag:discgolfer.ning.com,2009-03-31:1809917:Comment:17107012009-03-31T19:25:37.547ZMarcushttp://discgolfer.ning.com/profile/Marcus

I have only had two. The first one was the last game I played before I left for Iraq in 2003. The second one was at Ft, Riley about 2 or 3 months before I deployed this time. I hit it on a short 3. The very next day when I went and shot, I had a disc hit off the top of the first hole. If it would have been down a couple of inches I would have had it. I bounced so far off the top of the basket, i ended up getting a 3.<br />

2 aces in 2 years of play. first ace i was dumbfounded and it was hole #18.<br />
2nd ace came while my buddy and i took off from my father n laws b-day party to play a quick round. I was telling him how i got the ace 1 year before and end up hitting it again, go figure. I had to pick his jaw up off the ground so he could throw.But now that ive gotten good enough where i should be making them more often. i cant get one to save my life.

Started playing in 1984 in Niagra Falls, NY, and after turning pro, travelling for tournaments and playing a lot, getting a bunch of splash outs, I didn't get my first ace until I moved to San Diego in 1991 and played the ace fest that is Morley Field. I also believe in getting the best score possible and going for duces. Aces just happen. All but 1 of my 23 aces were at Morley.

This is the same advice I heard from Mark Ellis when I started playing competitvely. Truth is when you play it for a duce chances are you are going to get that Ace by chance. I have heard Mark say since he started this paricular strategy his is hitting more Aces then in the past.<br />
